11. Gypsum board shears walls shall not be used for the lateral support of masonry walls. Please coordinate. Reference IBC Section 2306.4.5, footnote a.

12. General note calls for wall footings to continue beyond the end of the wall. Please coordinate that requirement for wall footings located at the property line. Reference IBC Section 106.1.1.

4. Please clarify cleanout locations and slope of building sewer to the street. Reference UPC Section 707.

Soils Report

1. The soils report identifies that the passive earth pressure shall only be considered valid for design if the ground adjacent to the foundation structure is essentially level for a distance of at least three times the total depth of the foundation. Although the classic soil wedge theory provides a convenient method to predict passive pressure, the actual failure spiral soil surface often necessitates increasing the horizontal level distance to achieve the full magnitude of passive pressure. Further, the allowable footing bearing pressure in the vicinity of a descending slope when loaded with an inclined load towards that slope is more complex than simply concluding a safe lateral distance equal to 3 times the depth of footing. So as not to misinterpret the intended conclusion, please identify the total limiting soil/footing design condition with a scale diagram showing passive soil spiral failure surface, unified soil classification for the design soil, coefficient of internal friction for the design soil, cohesion value, soil density, and soil grade surfaces along the boundary of passive soil and soil mechanics calculations to fully support the safe design bearing pressure and lateral passive soil and sliding conditions in the vicinity of a descending soil slope. Reference IBC Sections 1803, 1804, 1805, 1604.4, and 1610.2.
